The Litter Tray

Feature

Video ideas

Your next video is already in the comments.

Viewers tell you what they want in the comments, and it scrolls away. When an AI rule reads a direct request, Ideas keeps the viewer's own words with who asked, under which video, and when. A digest then turns recent requests into a few title suggestions, each with a reason, an angle, and links back to the comments that asked. It runs about monthly on Free, weekly on Solo, and daily on Creator and Studio.

Suggestions come from recent comments the tray can still show, and every one links to its source so you can judge it yourself.

Outcomes

What you can do with it

Recover direct requests

Read a clean audience ask with its viewer, video, and date context.

Keep a shortlist

Save a request, set it aside, or undo either choice without publishing anything.

Check each suggestion

Inspect the suggested title, reason, angle, and source comments before copying it.

The path

How it works

  1. Enable both parts in Rules

    Enable AI Video ideas and at least one AI rule that reads comments.

  2. An AI rule reads a comment

    When the rule allows a direct request, Ideas can keep it.

  3. The request appears in Ideas

    Opening Ideas reads saved results; it does not start another AI request. The original words remain while the source is available.

  4. A digest may add suggestions

    How often it runs depends on your plan: about monthly on Free, weekly on Solo, daily on Creator and Studio. Changed comments from the last 30 days may produce a small number of stored title suggestions with a reason, angle, and links to the source comments; how many are kept also depends on your plan. Select a title to copy, or save and set aside request cards. Nothing is published.

Built by a creator, for his own channel first

I built the moderator my own channel needed.

Hey friends, I'm Mike. My channel grew to 50,000 subscribers, and the comments grew well past 50,000 with it. No one creator can read every comment at that size. I really valued the community that built up around my channel, but the volume and intensity of comments was overwhelming.

When the trolls started taking over the time I wanted to spend with the lovely community around my channel, I dusted off the toolkit and built The Litter Tray around the rules and restraint I wanted near my own audience. I want creators to be able to get set up in seconds, spend a few minutes setting the rules that matter to them, and make persistent trolls much harder to miss, so they can get back to making videos.
